Chapter 141 Regulus
I don't know when it started to rain heavily, and the bean-sized raindrops hit the glass windows, making people upset for no reason.
A flash of lightning flashed outside the window, illuminating the dim room and awakening the drowsy Alice.She jumped up from the chair suddenly, and after seeing the familiar environment around her, she slowly relaxed and sat back on the round chair.
The fur ball has already fallen asleep, and is making a pleasant cry in its own den.In addition, in the living room, only the sound of "tick" clocks can be heard, accompanied by the noisy and messy sound of rain, which is inexplicably frightening.
It was one in the morning, and Alice tensed. Snape had never been back so late before.
Concerned about confidentiality and the safety of students, Kreacher was sent to the principal's office yesterday morning, the first day of the Easter break.And that night, Snape, who was eating dinner at home, was temporarily called away by Dumbledore.
It has been a full six hours since yesterday's dinner to this early morning.Thinking of Dumbledore's serious and tense tone, Alice couldn't help thinking wildly.
It's already a holiday now, so it's impossible for the school or the students to have a problem.Plus this happened after Kreacher was sent there, so there is a high probability that it has something to do with the Horcrux.
Did they find clues from Kreacher and discover a new Horcrux?Alice clenched her right hand unconsciously, and she quickly rejected her thoughts.
With the principal's temperament, even if he knew the clues of the Horcrux, he would not be so anxious to find it in the middle of the night.He will verify conjectures, make plans, and of course, the most important point, arrange for Harry Potter to experience it.
Now that Harry is also on vacation, it is impossible for Dumbledore to rashly find Harry to deal with the Horcrux.
Could it be that because of their investigation of the Horcruxes, the Dark Lord appeared and was resurrected?Alice was even more nervous, because it meant that Dumbledore and Snape would be more dangerous.
Maybe it's because of the rain. It's April, but there's still a chill in the house.After lighting the fireplace and moving the chair to the fire, Alice began to wait anxiously again.
Fortunately, she didn't have to wait too long this time, and when the clock's hour hand moved to 2, Snape appeared.
"Why are you not sleeping yet?"
"Oh my God!" Alice looked at Snape who was thoroughly drenched by the heavy rain, and was taken aback. "You are a wizard, so you can't use the most basic rain spells and drying spells?"
"No time," Snape replied, casting a Drying Charm on himself.
Alice hurried to the kitchen to pour a cup of hot tea. Seeing that Snape looked lonely, she couldn't help asking, "What's the matter?"
Sitting tiredly on the sofa, Snape took the cup, took a sip and put it on the coffee table: "Reculus is not the Dark Lord's man."
"What if you catch a cold like this?" Alice subconsciously blamed when she found that the glass was still full, and then she realized something and stopped.
Not from the Dark Lord?Whose person is someone who is not the Dark Lord?That was Regulus Black, and Dumbledore's reaction showed that he was not from the Order of the Phoenix.
"Drink a potion if you have a cold." Snape said and handed Alice a piece of parchment.
[To the Dark Lord:
I will be dead by the time you read this, but I want you to know:
I was the one who discovered your secret, and I have taken the real Horcrux and will destroy it as soon as possible.
I'd risk my life for you to meet a mortal of flesh and blood when you hit your opponent.
RAB】
Alice's hands couldn't help shaking. She felt that the parchment was so heavy that she could hardly hold it.
Snape calmly narrated: "Regulus Black exchanged his life for the Horcrux that was closely guarded by the Dark Lord, and gave the real Horcrux to Kreacher for him to destroy."
Alice sat down curled up, and although the fireplace was burning in the room, she felt even colder.
"He's not from the Order of the Phoenix," she asked, as if to make sure.
Seeing Snape nodding, Alice couldn't help feeling a little sad.Blake betrayed Voldemort, no companion, no understanding, a teenager who died resolutely.
For so many years, no one remembered the name Regulus, no one knew his sacrifice, and the only brother might still regard him as the most evil Death Eater.It hurts just thinking about it.
"Does Sirius know?" she asked.
"He went with us to the cave with the fake pendant," Snape said, "the stuff there is very tricky, but we have learned about it through Kreacher, so we still got the fake pendant hidden in it." This suicide note on the back of the box."
For the first time, Alice didn't know what to say, perhaps at this time language was indeed the most powerless existence.
Unexplainable complex emotions surged up for a moment, she carefully discerned, and found it a little funny.The most famous wizard family, only two sons, one is a qualified Gryffindor, and the other is willing to die in order to fight against the Dark Lord.
People misunderstood them because of their surnames and backgrounds, and they all chose to remain silent in the face of misunderstandings.
"He's a hero."
When Snape said this, Alice was carefully folding up the suicide note, and she couldn't help but stop when she heard the words: "There are many such heroes, not only wizards but also Muggles."
During Voldemort's heyday, how many wizards and Muggles were persecuted by them?Facing Voldemort and the Death Eaters, how many people did not give up resistance at the last moment of death?
Some of them are called heroes, reported by the news, and maybe they will be recorded in the history books in the future.But the anonymous majority, they just become a string of cold statistics in the newspaper.
"In my opinion, Sev, you are a hero too." Alice said, returning the folded parchment to Snape.
Seeing that Snape wanted to refute, she followed up and said: "A hero should not be defined. He doesn't have to be flawless, he doesn't have to be forever bright, and he doesn't even have to have great abilities. Just like Regulus, like those Looks like a weak Muggle."
Whatever the reason for being a double agent, Snape was literally fighting the Dark Lord.To those who were saved because of Snape, he was a hero.
"But I know you don't want to be a hero." Alice went to the kitchen to change Snape's cup of hot water, "so drink up the hot water quickly."
"You..." Snape looked complicated.
Alice didn't care that much. It seemed that since Mrs. Rice's death, she had mastered the ability to quickly adjust her mentality without a teacher.
Taking a piece of parchment from the bookshelf, she asked, "Do you think I should also write a suicide note? This can be regarded as leaving a strong memory for those who come later."
"What nonsense!" Snape reprimanded, "Can a suicide note be written casually?"
Perhaps because the point of sleepiness has passed, Alice's thoughts are very clear: "You and I both know that in the face of the Dark Lord, no one can guarantee a safe retreat. For example, I feel that if Harry Potter is not in danger, You may not even hide from Avada Kedavra.”
The living room fell silent for an instant.
Alice didn't need to answer, she just said to herself: "To be honest, I think people are selfish. As long as their own needs are met, as long as they atone for their sins, everything else doesn't matter. Because you never Have you thought about it, does she need your atonement? Or maybe you have thought about it, but it is not important to you. "
Will Mrs. Rice be resurrected after Voldemort's death?Won't.
Would the deceased Mrs. Rice care about Voldemort's life or death?No and impossible.
Will Tom Rice forgive Alice?no way.
Will Alice be desperate to kill Voldemort?meeting.
Why wasn't Alice determined to fight Voldemort before?Because she didn't know those who were persecuted by Voldemort, she couldn't empathize with them.
Knowing that she can't change the reality and won't be forgiven, why does Alice want to take revenge on Voldemort?Because of a disturbed conscience, because of the desire to atone for sin.
"Look, people are so selfish," Alice analyzed herself one by one. "Don't you always want to ask me why I respect Dumbledore so much and like Harry so much? Because they are not as selfish as I am."
Snape just looked at Alice fixedly, and said firmly, "I smell rum."
"I just went to the kitchen for a little drink." Alice stretched out her arms and gestured for a long distance.
Snape got up and supported Alice who was shaking: "You are drunk, you can either take a hangover potion or go upstairs to sleep, you choose."
Even though she was not sober, Alice subconsciously still had a fear of potions: "Sleep, sleep!"
But halfway up the stairs, she seemed to be even more drunk, and she directly pulled Snape to the spot: "Although the main reason is Voldemort, you are the secondary reason."
"what?"
"One, two, three... where did I just count?" Alice scratched her fingers but counted more and more chaotically, "In short, I have stayed in England for many years. I originally wanted to visit Germany, because it is said that there There are a lot of handsome guys."
"Dumbledore's old lover is still locked up there." Thinking of the previous Egg Green, Snape couldn't help adding.
Alice shook her head: "Yes, lover! I gave up so many lovers for you! You finally settled everything and wasted my youth for so long. Now that the competition is so big, if I am no longer young, how can I pursue handsome Germans? "
Seeing that Alice's words became more and more out of tune, Snape forced her to go upstairs, and said through gritted teeth: "You can go after the handsome German guy right now, I believe Dumbledore and his old lover have the ability to get out of it." Pull the strings."
"No, no, no," Alice retorted as she staggered up to the second floor, "If you give up now, won't it become a sunk cost after so many years?"
"Well," Snape replied perfunctorily, and opened Alice's room door, "have a good rest, I'm looking forward to your reaction when I wake up tomorrow morning."
"By the way," Alice said before the door was closed, "remember to leave me a suicide note when you die, otherwise without evidence, people will really think that I have deep roots for a heinous dark wizard, which is not conducive to My next relationship."
--------------------
The author has something to say:
Alice is not that drunk, maybe slightly drunk?
Personal point of view: 1. The so-called atonement and atonement mentality are in the final analysis a disturbed conscience, which is to pray for inner peace.The emergence of the psychology of atonement is the function of moral conscience, and the psychology of atonement itself represents a certain degree of selfishness. 2. Love is a matter between two people. It is respect and understanding.
Based on the above two points, I think that for Snape, Lily’s childhood warmth is more symbolic than love; Snape’s series of acts of atonement are greater than long-term love (I mean greater, not nothing)
Again, this is my personal understanding, and it is also the image of Snape I want to write. If you don’t like crossing, don’t spray
